Three Main Theories on Speciation

The crucial event, for the origin of a new species, is reproductive isolation. Biologists need to understand how a barrier to interbreeding can evolve between the new species and its ancestors.
There are three main theories as to how this can happen:
• Allopatric speciation in which the new species evolves in geographic isolation from its ancestor.
• Parapatric speciation: the new species evolves in a geographically contiguous population.
• Sympatric speciation: the new species evolves within the geographic range of its ancestor.

Alternative to Ocean Sounds

Seiko Ocean Theater alarm clock brings the life aquatic to your bedroom

by Laura June posted Nov 12th 2009 at 4:59AM

If you're anything like us, you're terrified of whales for pretty much no reason. Seiko's newest alarm clock -- the Ocean Theater -- probably isn't for you then. Fair enough, but plenty of people are not maladjusted, and we're willing to admit that it's pretty cool, even if it's terrifying. The clock, which responds to touch, can project various marine life upon your walls, and we imagine it'll be a huge hit with children. As you'll see in the video after the break, if this thing works as advertised, it's really rather impressive. The Ocean Theater also doubles as an iPod dock, and will be available from Japan Trends; it's up for pre-order now and runs $235. Like we said, definitely check out the video after the break.

This is an alternative to my proposal.
